[lockedout]

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, one of the most powerful men in American football, was charged today on two counts of soliciting prostitution in connection to a recent law enforcement bust on massage parlors in Florida that, according to law enforcement, were used for prostitution and human trafficking. The news comes a few weeks after the Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl and days after Kraft appeared at the NBA All-Star game.

In a press conference Friday morning, Jupiter Police chief Daniel Kerr said Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution, and that a warrant for his arrest is with the state’s attorney’s office and will be sent to Kraft’s home in Massachusetts. Kerr said there is video evidence of Kraft involved in sex acts in a massage parlor on two occasions. Twenty-five people total were charged with soliciting prostitution at the Orchids of Asia spa in Jupiter.

Answering a questions about the fees at Orchids of Asia, Jupiter Police Detective Andrew Sharp, the lead detective on the case, said the fee for 30 minutes was $59 dollars, or $79 for an hour. He did not specify what Kraft paid. He said Kraft was driven to the spa.

According to public records, Kraft owns a home at The Breakers, a luxury resort in Palm Beach, about 20 miles south of Jupiter. In a statement issued to media outlets, a spokesman for Kraft said “We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”



Never heard of someone not being arrested on the spot.

Well, good luck with that.

Those are cheap hookers.

You don't become a billionaire if you spend like a maniac.

This guy knows his business, he should be the minister of finance.

Well, good luck with that.

Well, all they need to prove it was consensual and no payment was involved.

Having sex isn't illegal.

EDIT: I mean, the prosecutor needs to prove the contrary.

Honestly I only care if the women were being forced to be a prostitute by a abusive pimp/boyfriend.
If the women consented to it then I personally think it’s a stupid charge

[Mistame]

This wouldn't be a problem if prostitution wasn't illegal.

[ro9ue]

This is like people getting arrested for marijuana possession. Shouldn't be illegal.

This. The laws against prostitution are exceedingly dumb, especially since they don't actually protect these women at the end of the day, it just incentivizes pimps to abuse their workers due to the girls' inability to report to the police.

I mean I concur with above. You pay for sex and it's prostitution and illegal, but if you film said act you can call it porn and it's legal. That's so fucking dumb.

If you're that rich, couldn't you afford to get a fancy 'escort' instead?

Well considering the women in the Spa were basically sex slaves, I think a lot of people care.

What a relief, that would be some heavy stuff...

Give hookers medical and a 401K and lets start cleaning up the internet.

For being a billionaire he could have been more Krafty and not gotten caught. This actually helps prove that the Patriots probably pay off referee officials too, cause just touching Tom Brady is roughing the passer.
